THE dispatches give sketches OF many
narratives by well-known people, of their
experiences in the great Mediterranean
earthquake. They are all dramatic
thrilling, and tell of hair breadth escapes, of
scenes of ruin, death aud great suffering
They are remarkable in their concurrence
on one point; not one of the narrators
will confess that he or she felt fear; on the
contrary, they take special pains to protest
that they were not the least bit fright
ened" This protest may be conceded to
their vanity, but no one believes it to be
true. No person who has ordinary sensi-
tiveness can experience great earthquake
and not feel fear. In saying this cowardice
is not implied, but the physical effects of a
great upheaval of the earth, and the rock
ing and quaking Of the ground under the
influence of some unknown force is invari-
ably productive of terror. The sensation
gives birth to fear for ones safety fear of
danger to limbs and body, fear of impend-
ing awful pain, and of being crushed and
mutilated. Whoever in an earthquake
does not experience fear, such as moves
men to seek safety to ward off threatened
i'll is less than human.

THERE is yet time for the Legislature

Using and ticket-selling amendment pro-
posed to the Penal Code. 1t is the one
bill of all now pending in the Legislature,
against which not a newspaper in the State

members decline to make it law ? The
very agencies to be most affected make no
protest; it is in direct line with the man.

a snccssstul Electric Road.

The Kansas City Electric Street Railway
Company has been encouraged by the re-
cent successful trials of the cars to attempt
regular runs of the cars, and will begin this
week. The line of the road is from the
corner of Fifth street and Grand avenue,
directly east of Lydia avenue. One train
will be run at first. but the company ex-
poets to put on four trains as soon as posi-
Bile. Each train will consist of the motor
car and a passenger car. The motor will
carry thirty-six passengers, and the passen-
ger car about the same number. Each car
will be in charge of conductor and
motorneer." The speed will be about
seven miles an hour. The cars can be
stopped within distance of six feet if ne
cessarv. Brakes will be used on the wheel.
and the motor itself can be made to act as
brake by reversing its motion.
The company has sold the right to oper-
ate line in San Diego. The road there
will be the longest electric railway in the
world, the total length being twenty miles.
The electricity will be generated by water
power instead of steam, which IS used here.
The company is also in correspondence
with Los Angeles parties who want to es-
tablish an electric line there.
The electricity used by the Kansas City
Company is generated at the engine house.
on Fifth street, near Forest avenue. 1t is
conveyed to the motor in the car by wire
running along the street directly over the
road. 1t is supported by means of steel
wires, connecting poles on the opposite sides
OF the street From this overhead wire the
electricity is carried to the motor BY a wire
with an arrangement of wheels at the end
in contact with the overhead wire that al
lows it to run along the wire as the car runs
along the road. The electricity passes from
the short conductor to the fields and arma-
ture of the motor, causing the armature to
reyolve in obedience to the principle of ike
poles of magnet repelling and unlike poles
attracting. The contact is made by means
of copper brushes which, when touching
the arnature from one direction of tan
gent line, cause the armature to revolve
from right to left: from the opposite direc-
ton from left to right. The direction of
the brushes is changed by small lever
which is also used to cut the connection
and stop. Another lever is used to tighten
or loosen the friction band, which conveys
the motion from the revolving armature
to the wheel-shaft of the car. When the
band is the tightest the speed is the highest,
and vice versa-Kansas City Journal.

A POCKET CAMERA.-Councilor W. J..
Lancaster, of Gilmore Row. London, is
said to have invented a very remarkable
Photographic apparatus, to be used for de-
tective purposes or ordinary portrait pho
Biography. The apparatus is Enclosed in a
watch case, which opens in the ordinary
manner by means of spring. As the case
opens, miniature camera shoots out for a
moment, shuts up again, and the thing is
done. The sensitive plates to be used for
the camera are miniature dry plates, and a
score of these are to be carried by the oper-
ator in a specially-preparedl ocket, to hang
on the watch chain. We understand that
the miniature apparatus has been eagerly
welcomed by the detective police, and that
the authorities at Scotland Yard have de-
cided to make extensive use of it. A de-
tective who wishes to secure the portrait of
suspected character will only have TO get
close to his subject, and pretend to pull out
his watch and look at the time and the
features will be registered.

Woman,s Resources.

Women need to cultivate their own re-
sources more. There are some who early
recognize the difference of value between
the perishable and imperishable things of
this earth. Every valuable possession has
its added care and expense. People who
were once in moderate circumstances, or
poor, even, who grow wealthy, look back
at the old life as one freer from cares, sud
happier, yet, if they were to go back to their
early and simple style of living the world
would severely criticise them. Every wo-
man needs to keep up her list of old friends
and to make new ones, too the family and
children cannot meet all the wants that
mlddie-aged people must have for friend
ship. Not any woman is so busy but that
she can find time to write an occasional
letter. If the friend to whom she owes a
letter would come to see her, she could lay
aside work and talk to her, and urge her to
stay longer. One can stop on the street at
the risk of taking pneumonia in winter, to
talk to friend for half an hour, and why
cannot friends be civil when they do not
meet?
Pure air every day, which housekeepers
need SO much, would freshen them up I'M
til twice the amount of work could be &C.
complished that there is, without the daily
dragging sensation which one has who
STAYS so closely indoors. There are many
mothers and children who do not go out
for week of snowy or stormy weather,
and all grow irritable or cross, because
they have failed to provide themselves
with proper protection against storms
